Sicily for you - made in Soleblu

SOLE BLU

Sole Blu Sicilia (our name literally means "blue sun of Sicily") was founded in 1997 by Margherita Perricone, who was experienced not only in tourism (she began her career as an escort/guide and speaks several languages, including English and German) but in organizing conventions Office of Sole Blu in Palermo and congresses.

From the beginning, her goal was to establish a young agency. This may seem like an obvious objective for a new business, but into the 1990s the vast majority of tourism and travel-oriented companies in Sicily were old family-operated firms run on the principles of the 1970s which viewed the customer as a generic "tourist." In other words, they sold "mass tourism" Today, the average age of Sole Blu Sicilia's staff is about 30.

While age itself often reflects experience, it's sometimes difficult for an "old" company to offer new solutions, especially in a rapidly changing field such as ours.

We offer a complete range of travel services, everything from specially-planned culinary tours to incentive holidays and conferences. Our hallmark is attention to detail and our profound knowledge of Sicily and its potential as a holiday and vacation destination. Client satisfaction is our underlying goal.Sole Blu is a flexible and versatile agency. We can realize virtually any travel idea in Sicily.

This includes personalized itineraries as well as our scheduled tours and special services such as shore excursions (for cruise ship calls at Palermo and Messina).

It's really about choices - of sights, itineraries, lodging - based on your needs. And the best choice is not always the most expensive one.

Varied as it is, our work actually requires very specialized knowledge. An important point is that despite its relative youth Sole Blu Sicilia is an established agency, not a "virtual" one. You may have found us on the internet, but that's a point of reference rather than our primary location. We still do business the old fashioned way, with you, the client, as the center of our efforts.

Why should you choose Sole Blu Sicilia? By doing so, you'll be working directly with the Sicily-based company that organizes and oversees your vacation or conference (or your group's), rather than an intermediary outside Sicily. We'll work within your budget --something that's usually easier to do when you're not paying a "middle-man" or go-between
